Lesson: No risk

On 25 March the Prime Mister addresses the people of the country again, says we did a great job in observing the weekend lockdown and prepares us for a fortnight lockdown, says it is necessary for the safety of our lives and those we love. His message is strong, stay indoors. The media offices are aware of what is coming and have held important meeting with teams on how to operate from home retaining social distance. So far, it was all about social media, now everyone was talking about virtual events, virtual launches even virtual breakfast and dinners.

 I know of many events that were cancelled and slowly came the big halt, the malls, the cinema halls, fine dining, shopping streets and more. Most of us listened to the Prime Minister and stayed indoors and so many didn’t and indulged in evening walks, pet walks, sitting in the building verandah and that is when the police came out with lathis threatening to attack all unless they stayed indoors.

Lesson of the day was isolation was for real, no indulgences, no risks, no contact with who so ever and everyone had to learn to plan their days and remain positive.  Before going to bed I listed calls I had to make, articles I had to write and house chores I has to accomplish. By evening I was exhausted so watched TV, ate my dinner and fell asleep.
